7. By analyzing the diets, health and microbiomes of more than a thousand people,
researchers found that a diet rich in nutrient-dense, whole foods supported the growth
of beneficial microbes that promoted good health. But eating a diet full of highly
processed foods with added sugars, salt and other additives had the opposite effect,
promoting gut microbes that were linked to worse cardiovascular and metabolic health.
The researchers found that what people ate had a more powerful impact on the makeup
of their microbiomes than their genes. They also discovered that a variety of plant and
animal foods were linked to a more favorable microbiome.
One critical factor was whether people ate foods that were highly processed or not.
People who tended to eat minimally processed foods like vegetables, nuts, eggs and
seafood were more likely to harbor beneficial gut bacteria. Consuming large amounts
of juices, sweetened beverages, white bread, refined grains, and processed meats, on
the other hand, was associated with microbes linked to poor metabolic health.
